Some of the most widely respected invertebrate zoologists I know are also creationists.

From Wikipedia:
Zoology /zoÊSËÉ'lÉ(TM)dÊ'i/, occasionally spelled zoÃlogy, is the branch of biology that relates to the animal kingdom, including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct.

Hmm.....

In addition, they will also have access to your: personality profile, criminal records, court records, land records, birth certificate, marriage certificate, political contributions, address, phone number, date of birth, and embarrassing photos of you drunk in college.

Slashdot is full of such reactionaries! It is obvious that political contributions, so long as you meet the minimum donation, will remain anonymous.

That's point. While America fight a war on terrorists, the rest of the world are doing criminal investigations on organized crime and terrorist groups. While American fight obesity, the rest of the world seeks solutions to a healthier lifestyle to reduce obesity. While American fight a war on drugs, the rest of the world arrest criminals and put them to trial.

This concept of "fighting wars" on everything is very American (not that wars are not fought somewhere else by other groups, don't get me wrong). This concept is also very hyped by the American medias.


And yet... Vietnam was a "police action." Go figure...

Bush's budget issued in 2001 warned that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were overleveraged, and said that they needed tighter controls, oversight, and a host of reforms...

I would love to see a source for that.

I do personally recall Bush campaigning in 2004 based on the increase in home ownership. Here are some direct quotes: link
(think what you will of the linked source, it was the first I found in google with actual quotes)

Actually (I work in environmental and safety compliance) a lot of those inspections aren't even truly warrantless. You can deny an inspector access to a private facility and they do have to come back with a warrant. Its just that nobody in their right mind would do so because then the inspector is going to be pissed and assume you are hiding things.
